Last few weeks have been really lucky in terms of photography. Found freshwater jellyfish in the cauvery river. This is only the third sighting of the species in India, and these are I think the only good photographs of this species in India. More about this here in today’s Deccan Chronicle
More photographs here

A sudden trip to Hampi, made it one of the most memorable ones. We drove to Daroji Bear Sanctuary in the evening and as the light started fading, we got out of the sanctuary. Sanath was driving the car and after a while he spotted the leopard on the edge of the road! It was wading through the empty fields, and what followed later will need a 4 page essay. In short we photographed this guy for a long long time, enough to run out of battery and memory card. I have close to a 100 shots of him in all sorts of positions, but here’s one for the start.

A lots been happening. For starters I’m no longer with asklaila. It has been a very hard decision to quit a company where I started from day 1 of the company. Well I’ve moved on to fulltime photography and filmmaking. I’m working part time with felis. Its a new exciting phase of life I’m moving on to, where most things are new.
My last few trips to the jungles have been mostly to the western ghats, and to Agumbe. Was with the filming crew of the Nat-geo King Cobra documentary with sandesh, also got to see the hatching of king cobra babies!!! Will post a pic or 2 on that later. A photo-expedition to Agumbe went really well. I couldn’t post the details as the seats were filled even before I sent out a mailer. I’m planning to do another one soon, and will keep you guys posted.
Haven’t had time to process photos but here is the Bush frog and the Beddome’s cat snake I photographed at Agumbe.

Very hectic schedules, have had very little time in the last couple of months. Building a career afresh in a new field can be very taxing.
My assignment with Club Mahindra took quite a bit of time, and its now over. Also conducted a photoworkshop last week. Couldn’t blog about it as even before I blogged, the seats got full. Will be conducting another one soon. Will keep you guys posted.
Loads of images from trips to Kerala, Rajasthan and Western ghats are to be processed. Will put it all up in the next 1-2 weeks
